I'm not sure what you mean by this question.

Are you asking if it is possible that life existed on earth, in different forms, than it does today?

As in, no humans?

Only dinosaurs?

Can you clarify what exactly you mean by "life existing on earth before what we know as life on earth, today", please?

Whatever.  I guess anywhere from a possible single celled organism to humans.

Hypothetically speaking, if the earth is as old as scientists state that it is, what would be the possibility of life existing on earth before what we know as life on earth today?  Would this be a possibility?  Has the scientific community considered this?  Could the possibility of proof exist scientifically?  Why or why not?  Besides the evolution theory, could this in any way explain the different fossils such as the different shapes of skulls that serve to most scientists as proof of the evolution theory? If this questioning of mine could be proven, how would it change the outlook of science as we know it today?
Now, do I understand it correctly that you would like to explain the different hominid fossils via several separate and completely independent trees of life? This is exceedingly unlikely. Also,  where are these hominids supposed to have come from if there is no evolution?  You would have to invoke a devious intelligent designer and magic to recreate the observed fossils and biochemistry,  a super complicated and convoluted scenario.

If the universe was nothing to start with and the Big Bang happened, then anything like this could be possible unless I am wrong on my thinking. I did try to google this before I asked and not much has showed up.
What does the big bang have to do with any of this???

On the questions that I asked, it was going on the angle that maybe something was here and then got wiped out like the dinosaurs.  It turn, life started back up again. I guess the Big Bang doesn't have anything to do with it.  Then again we are making discoveries all the time and there is so much that we do not know about.
